I'm working for the unit in question at the moment and we were discussing the situation at work today.
Am I right in thinking that if the job is far enough from the office then accommodation can be provided and you will not be taxed for it? But if it's close you get taxed?
If so, in situations where the job is relatively close to the office, could a unit rent houses as usual then charge workers a nominal rent of say £10 per week? Any amount charged could possibly be added on to usual pay.
Would this work or would it be seen as tax evasion?
(Thought I should mention that I'm not part of management and have not discussed any of this with management!)
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
